February 2014 Monthly Teacher's Guide

If you have working students, mention that in February, their employers must send them a W-2 form to show how much they earned in 2013, and how much tax was taken out. Point out that they may be entitled to a tax refund. Many new workers in the country do not realize that, and do not bother to file a return. They can download a 1040 EZ or regular form at IRS.gov. There are videos with instructions on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/ irsvideos. There are videos in other languages with instructions: http://www. youtube.com/IRSvideosMultilingua. Next month, we’ll have practice with one of the tax forms.
